When a murder shocks 1938 Los Angeles, detective Tiago Vega (Daniel Zovatto) and his partner Lewis Michener (Nathan Lane) pursue the case during a historic period of great change: from the construction of the city's freeways to the infiltration of Third Reich spies and the rise of radio evangelism. Set against the city's deep traditions of Mexican-American folklore, these powerful forces soon threaten Tiago and everyone he holds dear.
Critic reviews of Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels
“highly intelligent, beautifully produced pulpy, speculative
fiction.”
Graeme Blundell – The Australian
“Penny Dreadful: City of Angeles is just as harrowing as its
predecessor with a strong performance from Natalie Dormer.”
David Griffin – IGN Movies
“Penny Dreadful: City of Angels tells a cohesive, well-plotted and
multilayered story. It projects the dreamlike sleep paralysis on a real
screen.”
Tony Sokol – Den of Geek
